The director isn't exactly the only "creative" person relevant.
yes he is
nope
cinematographer, editor, (executive) producers, script writer, acting improvisation, soundtrack compiler... those things are generally out of the creative control of the director.
though occasionally the director will take on more than one role and have a hand in the above list

I'm no filmmaker, but I'm pretty sure the director has final say on how the movie is edited, how a scene is shot, etc.

anyway, i just thought it was funny how the OP said...IG was meh wasn't a Pulp Fiction/Kill Bill/FDtD movie.
He names 2 movies QT directed and one he doesn't. I was just calling that out.
He should have put Reservoir Dogs in place of FDtD.
That's all.

I can't wait to see this. FWIW, the only time I got tired of QT's dialogue was Deathproof (and this was a short movie). That one drug on and on.

It isn't a movie following the Basterds watching them raid on Nazis. It happens (once really), but really isn't the focus

THE BEAR JEW

just caught the 415 at the rave, really enjoyed it. the story was great, and all the elements really converged in a cool way at the end of the movie, making for one hell of a finale. christoph waltz definitely deserves some awards love for his portrayal of the jew hunter. i thought pitt and eli roth did a good job as well. this is a must see for QT fans (though any movie he makes is a must see for his fans i suppose).

Amazing movie. So many moments. Chock full of Quentin's notorious slow build up and then an explosion of action.
Three larger than life characters- Aldo, Randa, and the girl Shoshanna. Beautifully written and acted.
Pitt is the perfect anti-hero. A word stumbling mumbling cliche of a Tennessean and the perfect foil to the ultra sleek, ultra intellectual villain played by Waltz (in four languages no less). Waltz as Lt. Randa plays one of the most sinister villains I've seen in years. Gracious, charming, and observing of all forms of etiquette, but apathetic to any form of morality. The opening scene between him and the Frenchman is so ripe with tension, that I found myself wanting to scream.
I'm not going to say that this movie isn't slower moving than some Tarantino flicks, but there is purpose behind each scene. There is nuance, and nothing seems extraneous. We're talking about a time where the slightest mistake could get you killed or sent off to prison camp.
The cinematography is brilliant. The burning of the theater is the closest approximation to hell that I've ever scene on screen. The damned are burning alive. Warm saturated reds for the Nazi reich. Pastoral greens for the french country side. Beautifully shot.
As for Pitt, I think people continue to underestimate him. The role he plays in this film, he plays perfectly. His comedy makes the things that his character's (and his character's men) doing bearable instead of barbaric. Without it, one might even feel sorry for the nazi's he's scalping.
Criticisms- I found some of the Tarantinoisms a little offputting, including some of the soundtrack choices and the on screen letters for some of the characters. They were unnecessary.
Loved this movie. History be damned. This is the movie about the WWII that would have ended had it been a graphic novel. I feel sorry for those that didn't enjoy it.

Just got back...
I'll give it another watch, but it's up there with Jackie Brown as my favorite Tarantino film after immediate viewing. I won't say it stays there, depends on how it stays with me, but its good, really good.
He had a ton, a literal ton, of references to other films, past and present. And it all started from the first frame, if I'm not mistaken. He did it cleaner and far more effective than he did in Pulp Fiction.
The dialog was brilliant, and every character was fun to watch.
I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Well, I had my doubts about going to see it, but now I think I might have to.
BTW, thanks for posting the JCVD thread earlier today. I read a great article on it a few months ago and meant to put it in my queue but forgot to do it. It's in there now though.

AND "witty" dialogue
I seem to enjoy your thoughts on films, but I will have to respectfully disagree here.
I was enthralled by the dialog. I don't think he was trying to be "witty," and funny, but slippery and cryptic. I thought every actor did a great job expressing motives in the subtlest of ways. Particularly Landa.

I am honored, but I always go into a film, different strokes for different folks. I repeat that on here often, because that's really what it comes down to.
Plenty of people who do have good opinions of film haven't liked it at the same time that I thoroughly enjoyed it. You never know.

No prob. It's one fun diversion for a night, and a nice role for Van Damme, who I do have fond memories of mimicking when I was growing up.
